+Questd is a versatile application continuously monitoring the system and network. Questd exposes ‘router’ prefixed ubus objects with methods providing its users with the ability to query detailed system, network, wireless and client information as well as to execute system and network related actions. Questd also creates the ‘client’ ubus event which is sent whenever the connection status of a network client changes.
